There has been a lull in real estate
transfers to-day and the several head
quarters are catching up with their
work, though the busy clerks have yet
had little rest This easing up of the de-
mand promises to last through to mor-
row and 8lth the opening OF next week

| Russell returned from Omaha last night
| aud reports there o considerable in
terest in Yankton real estate and also IN
Sioux City. He says the report is cur
| rent below that Yankton failed to secure
| the bridge charter and this has not a
very good effect. But the truth will
become known IN o few days. A former
resident of Yankton who is now inter
| ested to some extent in railroad affairs
writes that the Duluth road js surely
coming to cur city and that 1t will be
built as rapidly MS possible. The reiter-
| alton of this information he's stimulated
real estate and "a great deal of quiet
trading is in progress, much of which
| escapes the public, 1t is safe to say that
IN the last three days $75. 600 worth of
property has changed hands and the
promise for the coming week is brighter
thar for anything yet experienced. The
best opinion is thst the height of the
| boom will not be reached for q month
get and by that time there will be an
unprecedented rush for property. We
know OF one extensive project on foot
which will not materialize in Its fullest
until some time in May and when it
is ready an extensive sale
of property will result. The soil
upon which this scene is TO be enacted
has already been purchased and IS in
the hands of a syndicate. 1t owners are
in no hurry and prefer to wait fox the
rush which tho opening of spring will
bring.
Our real estate men are receiving large
bundles of letters relative to saleable
property and the chances for invest
ments. Renlies to these letters will
bring most OF the writers to Yankton.
This contest for the Bunker forty near
the college is yet raging and Mr.. Bunker,

portions of the city on which the story
of the boom 10 being placed for the
guidance of those who would buy. The
Mortgage bank put out q new n to-day

perty belonging to e. A. Bruce and j,
L. Perkins. Judge Roberts has freshly
